Prior to starting the Nutmeg State Games in 1989 Bill Mudano was a highly successful high school basketball coach.

In 14 years at Canton High School, coach Mudano's team won 199 games while losing only 99 times for a winning percentage of .667. His teams played twice for the state championship (1978 and 1981) and won the title in 1978. In 1981 his team was the #1 ranked Class S Team for most of the year and finished the season at 22 and 4 losing to Bacon Academy in the state championship game at Central CT State University.

During his over 20 years of coaching high school basketball, coach Mudano has had the opportunity to attend numerous coaching clinics both in Connecticut and all over the Northeast and knows what it takes to offer today's coaches a valuable and informative clinic.

He has assembled, for the for the 1st Annual Nutmeg Basketball Coaches Clinic, college and high school coaches who have learned their craft from the very best and are anxious to pass along their insights and coaching techniques to you!
